This was a pretty historic week, especially if you are an Indian fan. Impact Wrestling filmed their first ever episodes in India, becoming the only American wrestling promotion to do so. Their significantly better-known cousins did not make history in the same vein but heading into the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, WWE had a pretty newsworthy week as well.
It’s time for our weekly Instagram recap, for your benefit and convenience, so that you can catch up with what your favourite superstars have posted on their social media accounts. Read on.
#15 Finn Balor became a Storm Trooper
Finn may have taken the pin at Extreme Rules, but just before that he was in a good mood indeed – to be more specific, he was in a Star Wars mood. He wasn't on Raw this week either. Who knows? Maybe he was cosplaying Jabba the Hutt.
#14 Jericho met some special guests
He may not be wrestling anymore, but he certainly is hanging out with our favourite superstars. Dean Ambrose and Jeff Hardy catch up with Chris Jericho this week on Talk is Jericho. The results were quite astounding. Catch out the podcast right away if you haven't.
#13 King Maxel caught some bubbles
The world’s youngest wrestler, King Maxel went out with his father, Matt Hardy, to catch some bubbles. The experience was simply DELIGHTFUL!
#12 Nia Jax shared her expert comments at Extreme Rules
Well, if David Otunga can be an announcer, anyone can. Here we see Nia Jax at the Extreme Rules pre-show panel with Renee Young and others. Watch out, Alexa Bliss. She’s not like most girls.
#11 Alexa Bliss played video games
When she's not playing games with our heart, Alexa Bliss plays video games. Isn’t she just perfect? Sadly, she’s Tekken. Did we say Tekken? We mean she’s ‘taken’.
#10 DDP wished his mentor a Happy Birthday
DDP wouldn’t be in the business if not for Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, his true idol. If you've watched “The Resurrection of Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts”, you know how DDP turned his life around. Here we see him wish Jake a very happy 62nd birthday. Happy birthday from Team Sportskeeda Wrestling too!
#9 Seth Rollins enjoyed his beer
Seth Rollins turned 31 earlier this week. How did he celebrate? By getting some really special beer. Might have softened the blow of his loss at Extreme Rules.
#8 Ric Flair was called a National Treasure
Now that Ric Flair is a committed man, he meets ladies of a different kind, these days. Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch called him a National Treasure. We must say that the man is an international treasure! Go Naitch!
#7 Kurt Angle shared his first gold medal story
Before he was an Olympic Gold Medalist, he was a winner at the 1995 World Team Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. Kurt Angle shared an old but gold memory with us, and we couldn't be any prouder than we are right now.
#6 Natalya shared an old school Ellsworth picture
Looks like Natalya and James Ellsworth have been pals from long before their Welcoming Committee days. Here we see them posing from as far back as 2012. Must be a dream come true for Ellsworth to be on the same roster as Nattie. What a ride it has been.
#5 Corey Graves went for a ride
That’s Corey Graves in the car. Who's that with him? Is that Doc Gallows? Or is it Festus? Maybe it is Tex Ferguson from Southpaw Regional Wrestling.
#4 Triple H made a huge announcement
Extreme Rules was a good show, Money in the Bank will be very good, but we cannot wait for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn on Summerslam weekend. Now, this is awesome!
#3 Brie Bella said Daniel Bryan is awesome
Brie Bella, unfortunately, experienced complications during childbirth. Thankfully she had her better half by her side, at all times. We all know Daniel Bryan is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Now we’re certain he's one of the best human beings too.
#2 Charlotte sent a special message to AJ Styles
Take a moment to look at this picture and admire it to absolute the fullest degree. Here's the best male wrestler in the world, with the best female wrestler in the world. The latter wished the former a very happy birthday indeed. Happy Birthday AJ, from Team Sportskeeda Wrestling.
#1 Did Stephanie McMahon showcase WWE’s future owners?
Are these two lovely ladies future owners of the company? Only time will tell. Until then, they're just the apple of Stephanie McMahon's eye.
